UNITED STATES FIRE-ANNIHILATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 260,879, dated July 11, 1882,

Application filed February 15, 1882. (No model.)

4in separation, which, when united, form a lireextinguishin g gas 5 and the object ot' my invention is to provide means whereby the chemicals so held in separation are united by operation ot' devices brought into action by means of an electric current.

To the accomplishment of my purpose I employ a gas generator or receptacle supplied with a chemical reagent inseparation, and an inelosed `vessel containing another chemical which in practice is reagent in separation, which chemicals, when united, form a fire-extinguishing gas.

My invention further consists ot the means employed to actuate the several parts of the device and bring the chemical reagents into linien, as hereinafter described and claimed.

The accompanying drawing illustrates a de- Vice, partly in section, adapted to carry out my invention, in whichv A is a generator, having anoutletpipe, B, supplied with a chemical reagent-as, for instance, linie-water. a. isa man-hole for introduetionof the chemicals and for other obvious purposes, fastened by any suitable mechanism.

B is an outlet-pipe.

O is a close box or ease attached to one side of the interior of the generator A, which has a tight cover, upon which is placed a vessel, D,

supplied with a chemical reagent-as, for example, sulphuric acid.

lVithin the box C, I place an explosive sub stance, (shown at c.) I have found gun-cotton very serviceable for the purpose intended. This substance c is so located within the case C that when it is exploded it will not shatter the sides, but only lift the cover c and cause the vessel D to turn over and empty its contents iuto the generator A.

e e are positive and negative wires ot' a battery, E, which wires are conducted from said battery through the walls of the generator A and terminate within the case C in close proxiinity. When the electric current is complete the spark therefrom will explode the material c (which has purposely but weak force) and cause the cover c to be lifted up, thus upsetting the vessel D, the contents of which will unite with the chemical reagent within the generator Aand form a tire-extinguishing gas.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim is- In a re-annihilator, a gas-generator supplied with a chemical reagent and provided with an interior case, C, supplied with explosive material, said case having loosely resting thereon a vessel, D, containing a chemical reagent, in combination with the line-wires ot' an electric battery, all so arranged, as described,

that when the electric current explodes the material within the case() the vessel D will be upset and iire-annihilating gas will be generated by intermingling the chemical reagents, substantially as described.
